Professional slackliner Faith Dickey attempts things that plenty of us wouldn't dare try. How about traversing a slackline barely 2 inches in width across a canyon, hundreds of feet in the air? A car accident at age 18 changed Faith's life, teaching her to live every moment to its fullest. This is the story of how Faith Dickey became one of the best slackliners in the world.

@@Macusercom I would assume two people hike to the location. Then they split up to go to either side so they can both set up anchors. If you attach the line to a weight you might be able to throw it across, or I suppose they could use a crossbow.

Depends on the canyon. Either rappel down the side and climb up the other side while carrying the webbing. Walk around if the canyon allows it. Or use a drone to fly a thin line attached to a thick line over.

Amazing video! Cudos for bringing our sport out and showing the public! One thing I however did not like was the fact that they made it look like she is the only woman in the world to Highline, it feels very Bias, feels like they are trying to say that she was the one to bring slackline to the world and that she was the one to make it popular but that's just clearly not true.... Hundreds of women and men are at this and even higher levels of highlines, the world record is now over 2km and it was also walked by a woman... They should have brought in multiple highliners and not focus on one and try make her sound like the god of slacklines :D there is many other people that had a much bigger influence on the sport than her, it feels like they ignored everything and everyone else and focused on making her look like the god of slacklines / highlines. Again, I love the video, we need content like this to popularise the sport but to create a fake image of the sport by praising and hyping up one single individual that is good at the sport and making her sound like she is the inventor and brought it to the world is just not the way to do it... The only mention of anyone else in this video is a quick "Rock climbers found a new way to pass time" :D without those people and people like Chongo, Dean and many others, there would be no Faith Dickey and you guys would not have this video.

I must laugh at the point where WIRED is selling us "There is science to this stuff". Sure. "The Universe is science". Of course, there is science to this stuff. There is also Science in Baseball and riding a bull. ;) She is just a woman walking on slack line. Yes, impressive. But it is just obsession in one sport. I will not get excited about someone walking on a slack line just because of a fancy video.

@@RoyalRoses Yes. I am very ok. Thanks :) Might be a culture thing. Some people get more excited what people can do with their own body. Climbing, slack lining, sport. I am not so much. Which is fine. It is just funny that when people making videos about a sport and put "science" in it to make it sound bigger. That is all.
